I find that social media has the exact opposite problem. There's enough politically incindiary material on there that reading Facebook or Twitter frequently leaves me angry.
The friends and co-workers I spend time with in person have a much less diverse set of views than the broader group in my Twitter and Facebook feeds. Literally every person I spend real-world time with is wealthy, educated and liberal. Nobody ever says anything truly upsetting.
- cynusx 9y agoI actually don't get why facebook doesn't bury political posts in your feed. People are not going to be more "connected" when arguing about politics online. From an AI point of view it's much simpler to detect if a post is political in nature
- krrrh 9y agoIt seems like they are just optimizing for “engagement”, and that outraged codes as egaged based on the metrics they collect.
